Definitions

  • the preservation of food whether food for human consumption or animal food products by storing them in either a can or in a sealed glass with a lid.
  • the durability can be increased, for example, by each of the food and the container, here glass or tin, separated as much as possible sterilized and then filled the food in the container and this is closed.
  • this proven over a long time measure to increase the shelf life of food has a number of disadvantages, such as a further necessary downstream sterilization.
  • cans and jars have the disadvantage that a very dense and space-saving storage is not possible.
  • cans and glasses have a considerable weight, which leads to increased energy consumption during transport.
  • tinplate or aluminum even if the raw materials used for this purpose come from recycling, a fairly high energy consumption is necessary.
  • glasses comes added aggravating an increased transport costs, since these are usually prefabricated in a glassworks and then need to be transported using significant transport volumes to the food-filling operation.
  • glasses and cans can be opened only with considerable effort or with the help of tools and thus rather cumbersome. With cans, there is a high risk of injury due to sharp edges created when opening. When it comes to glasses, it often happens that when filling or opening the filled glasses, glass fragments enter the food, which in the worst case can lead to internal injuries when eating the food.
  • sheet-like composites are often referred to as laminate - produced container.
  • Such sheet-like composites are often composed of a thermoplastic layer of plastic, usually consisting of cardboard or paper backing layer, a primer layer, a barrier layer and a further plastic layer, such as inter alia WO 90/09926 A2 disclosed.
  • laminate containers are often characterized in that they have drinking holes or perforations for better ⁇ ffenkle.
  • These are produced by, for example, introducing holes in the cardboard used to produce the laminate, by means of which the further laminate layers are then laminated to form perforated cover layers covering the hole area.
  • This hole area can then be provided with a closure device which, when actuated, pushes the hole-covering layers into the container or tears it out at the top.
  • a drinking straw can also simply be pressed into such a hole area.
  • Such hole areas are for example from the EP-A-1 570 660 or the EP-A-1 570 661 known.
  • laminate containers may also be provided with perforations, which allow an opening of the container by partially tearing the laminate along the perforation.
  • perforations may be applied, for example, by means of laser beams in the finished laminate in which the laser beam selectively removes the outer polymer layer and the carrier layer to form a plurality of holes.
  • the disadvantage of the previously known from the prior art laminate container having such hole areas lies in particular in that when opening the container, either by operating a closure device, by inserting a drinking straw or tearing along a perforation, the hole area Covering hole top layers, which usually at least the barrier layer and below, so arranged in the direction of the bottled food layers, which are laminated on the barrier layer comprises insufficiently separated from the rest of the laminate. Frequently, this leads to a thread formation of the thermoplastic polymer layers. These lead to a bad pouring behavior.
  • EP-A-1 570 660 or the EP-A-1 570 661 Now try these disadvantages over the selection certain polymers, namely to fix made by means of metallocenes polyolefin. Next put the WO 03/095199 A1 . WO 98/14317 A1 . DE 60034175 T2 and the WO 2004/089628 A1 State of the art of the present invention.
